Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
    —Terri Apter (20th century)

    “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
